Do You Think Sienna Miller Likes Us??

Home wrecking actress Sienna Miller recently revealed she doesn't like being in the limelight and she’s simply desperate for a normal life. Oh our hearts bleed.

“I don’t court attention. I don’t go to other people’s premieres. I haven’t been out to a club in London for years. When I’m not working, I want to be myself. I don’t have assistants, bodyguards or even a driver because I try to pretend in my own head that this isn’t happening.”

Oh what’s an actress to do?! How about stop acting? Ever thought of that? But wait there’s more:

“I have a lot of respect for Keira. She’s another girl who’s in a similar position to me but she still has her reputation intact. Naturally I intend to sully it before the year’s out. Only joking...”

If anyone else had said that we might find it funny but as it’s Sienna we think Keira had better watch out!

Birthday boy Michael and pal David Gest turn poems to pop

Having marked his half century on Friday with the release of The King Of Pop, a new collection of his chart toppers, Michael Jackson is taking a radically new tack with his next venture. The singer has teamed up with close pal David Gest to record tracks based on the work of 18th-century Scottish poet Robbie Burns.

David, a former I'm A Celebrity… contestant and Liza Minnelli's ex-husband, has revealed he and the Thriller star have given a 21st-century spin to some of the celebrated bard's verses, putting the likes of We Did Ae Fond Kiss and Tom O'Shanter to contemporary music .

"Our favourite poet in the world is Robbie Burns," he explains. "We turned his work into show tunes; it's beautiful."

Although they've already laid down the tracks it's not known whether the pair plan on releasing the result.

The Celebrity 100

The World's Most Powerful Celebrities: copied from fobes.com by and edited by buf...

The rich and famous have had a great year--and a terrible one. Movie attendance dropped 8% last year as fans retreated to their home theaters, complaining of, among other things, high ticket prices. Can-do-no-wrong actors such as Nicole Kidman delivered the year's biggest turkeys ( Bewitched, anyone?). As a result, box office receipts fell 5% to $8.9 billion.

Breakups, babies and betrayals monopolized the headlines nearly eclipsing the careers of actors such as Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie (who, in a future twist of tabloid fate, tie for 35th on our annual list of the World's 100 Most Powerful Celebrities.) But generating headlines isn't enough to solidify your standing in Hollywood. A fat paycheck won't do it, either. Only a combination of earnings and sizzle will land a celebrity a coveted spot on our Celebrity 100.

To generate the list, we used a combination of factors including income, Web references as calculated by Google (nasdaq: GOOG - news - people ), press clips as compiled by Lexis/Nexis, TV/radio mentions from Factiva and the number of times a celebrity's face has appeared on the cover of 26 major consumer magazines. Earnings estimates are for June 2005 to June 2006 and are dollars earned solely from entertainment income. Management, agent and attorney fees have not been deducted.

The year's biggest winners were the entertainment stalwarts. The 20 most powerful names in show business include seasoned old-school performers such as the Rolling Stones (No. 2) and U2 (No. 4), even Muhammad Ali (No. 13). The Champ cracked the top 20, despite not having boxed a single round in almost 25 years, when he sold the rights to his name and likeness last year for $50 million. Tiger Woods, who has been in the top five for the last five years straight, once again is ranked fifth, making $90 million over the last year, mostly from endorsements (although with $58 million in career earnings, Woods has made 25% more from actually playing golf than any golfer in history).

And the Rolling Stones aren't the only blast from the past--a lot of older marquee names made the cut, including comedian Jerry Seinfeld (No. 28) for the ongoing strength of his show in syndication; schmaltzy crooner Neil Diamond (No. 47) for a new album and tour; and Jodie Foster (No. 54), the highest-earning (and oldest) actress on the list thanks to blockbuster performances in Inside Man and Flightplan.

But despite being pilloried and parodied after pairing up with an ingenue 16 years his junior (nevermind the couch-jumping antics), Tom Cruise still reins supreme at the box office--and on our list. Love him or hate him, Cruise, who earned $67 million last year alone, is Hollywood's most bankable star.

But other stars are on the rise. Keifer Sutherland appears this year (No. 67) as a result of the incredible success of his Fox television series, 24. He reportedly inked a $40 million contract to play Agent Jack Bauer for at least three more seasons. Former supermodel turned talk show host Tyra Banks (No. 84) is making a play for Oprah's crown. And women's pro golfer Michelle Wie (No. 74), the youngest member of the Celebrity 100, had $10 million in endorsements before she turned 16...
